In the past, when research and development(R&D) resources were absolutely scarce, the so-called 'choice and concentration' strategy of national R&D projects has been persuasive. Under the current situation where various actors such as GRIs(Government-funded Research Institutes) and universities supported by more abundant R&D resources conduct national R&D projects, this strategy cannot be applied without distinction. In order to see how the strategy has worked, this paper analyzes the concentration of research funds allocated to actors performing national R&D projects. Concentration is measured based on the amount of research funds supported by government from 2002 to 2016 using the Theil index to break down the concentration of individual actors in the overall national R&D project. The results from the Theil index were compared with concentrations using the Gini coefficient, a widely known indicator. As a result, the Theil index could be used to analyze the concentration and sub-components' contribution such as universities and GRIs that make up the entire national R&D system. The results also showed GRIs had the highest concentration, followed by universities, but their concentration has been somewhat reduced compared to 10 years ago. On the other hand, small-sized companies have maintained a certain level, although they are not highly concentrated. In other words, universities and GRIs tend to reduce the gap in the allocation of research funds among institutions, while small-sized companies tend to distribute them evenly.

As a public research institute, government-supported institutes have led the industrial development and the advancement of science and technology in Korea. Robert Levering has annually selected 'Fortune 100 GPTW(Great Place to Work)' by measuring the Trust Index which was originated by himself. The objectives of this study are to attempt newly to analyze the inter-relations among 5 elements of GPTW trust index such as credibility, respect, fairness, camaraderie, and pride perceived by the K institute's 262 employees; to verify that GPTW trust index is valid for the selection of the fortune 100 GPTW. Amart PLS 2.0 and SPSS 18 were utilized for the statistical analysis. The results of this study are as follows. Credibility has positive effect to pride; respect has positive effect to pride and camaraderie; fairness has positive effect to camaraderie; and camaraderie has positive to pride. Pride and camaraderie have positive effect to the perceived GPTW. Recent studies mainly focused on the relations between GPTW trust index as independent, mediating variables or parameters and organizational performances. It is meaningful that this study has firstly tried to analyze the inter-relations among 5 elements of the trust index for the employees of research institute. This study has implication that the in order to enhance the performance the institute has to manage GPTW trust index perceived by the employees.

The purpose of this study is to identify the current status of infrastructure and services for analyzing research data for research data managers at government-funded research institutions under the National Research Council for Science and Technology (NST) who will actually use the Korea Research Data Commons (KRDC), which is being developed by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) and to investigate the perceptions of research data managers related to the establishment of KRDC system. For the study, we conducted a survey targeting 24 government-funded research institutes, excluding KISTI, and interviewed research data managers from 9 of the 15 institutions surveyed who agreed to follow-up interviews. As a result of the survey, most institutions were providing related services, and their willingness to introduce an integrated analysis framework for the use of research data and provide a system for using externally released analysis software was also high. Meanwhile, when we investigated the external disclosure status of each institution's analysis services through follow-up interviews, only a minimal number of institutions were disclosing them to the outside world. The findings reveal that there is a demand to utilize analysis infrastructure and services when provided through the framework. However, it is difficult to disclose and share the analysis resources held by each organization. In order to establish the KRDC system, it is essential to share research sites' analysis infrastructure and services, and in addition, changes in the perception of research sites and institutional changes are necessary. Furthermore, there is a need to establish policies that consider the system's convenience, security, and compensation system raised in the follow-up interviews.

In general, if employees recognize that their career are tied up, their overall level of job commitment and job satisfaction are decreased which eventually negatively affect individual performance. Especially, career development in the high specialized job like R&D task is more important than other jobs. While the previous studies showed interest in the negative consequences of career plateau, this study aimed at finding out the antecedents of career plateau. By diving the antecedents of career plateau into organizational level and individual one, we conducted direct effect and interaction effect of antecedents variables on career plateau. The empirical results using employees belonging to government funded R&D institute showed that career development practice and work experience in other institutes have negatively related to career plateau, while age has positively related to career plateau. In addition, the interaction effect between career development practice and work experience in other institute was also significant.

This study analyzed research output in dominant research areas of 19 national research institutions. Policy knowledge produced by the institutions during the past 5 years mainly concerned 10 policies dealing with economy and society issues. Similarities between the research subjects of the institutions were displayed by MDS mapping. The study also identified issue attention cycles of the 5 chosen policies and examined the correlation between the issue attention cycles and the yields of policy knowledge. The knowledge structure of each policy was mapped using co-word analysis and Ward's clustering. It was also found that the institutions performing research on similar subjects demonstrated citation preferences for each other.

This study aims to investigate the research equipment establishing relationship by looking at research equipment information transfer that follows the network's structural and positional characteristics and the research institute's responsibilities to increase the possibility of research equipment usage by using the SNA(Social Network Analysis) method. Consequently, with the given structural characteristics of research institute, it can be concluded that because of its low density, it appears to be difficult to transfer research equipment information within the network. Government-funded research institutes that can effectively deliver research equipment information within the network system through comparison positional characteristics are ETRI, KITECH, KRICT, Sungkyungwan University, and Kyungbook National University. In addition, a virtualization node not only invigorates the network system but also acts as an intermediary factor to effectively deliver research equipment information. As results, there can be three conceivable alternatives to increase the possibility of research equipment usage. Those includes: 1. policy to encourage relationship building among research institutes 2. utilizing suitable institutes for effective delivery of research equipment information and lastly, 3. establishing a virtual intermediary institute for information sharing and utilization of isolated institutes' research equipments.
